The world of gaming is currently experiencing a real boom . The years of Pacman, Super Mario Bros and Tetris on the Game Boy that accompanied many of us during our childhood are long gone. With the arrival of 3D, online games and augmented reality alternatives for mobile devices, the panorama has evolved to become
a promising industry that moves millions and millions of euros every year.
Anyone who had access to devices like the first Play Station or the Nintendo 64, true gaming stars in times past, has had to live with comments from parents and so-called experts warning of a multitude of risks, such as inciting violence, addiction or vision problems. The sector has evolved and we now know that, with the right format,
video games are excellent learning alternatives that also offer great benefits for the development of the little ones.
Advantages of gaming among children and adolescents
At the
Hotel GF Victoria***** GL we are very aware of the importance of technology today, which is why we have decided to also invest in it in our leisure area, with an interesting range of car simulators and other strategy games designed for your children.
Our intention has always been to create a space more suited to pre-teen guests, who are less interested in the children's activities at our hotel.
What better way to encourage socialising than with state-of-the-art simulators? You'd be surprised by the teamwork strategies that are generated in our hotel, even when the players are of different nationalities and ages. Friendships and laughter happen spontaneously, which corroborates many of the benefits attributed to video games today.
Now that we know more about the possibilities of gaming, we know that they are capable of
stimulating children's imagination, as well as the use of coordination, logic and mathematics . There are quite a few professionals in the sector who started playing as amateurs and who, today, work for well-known companies as programmers, 3D designers or game testers - effectively, those who spend the 8 hours of their working day using video games to identify possible errors.
Virtual reality, without leaving the hotel
Making your children feel like they're on a
Moto GP or Formula 1 circuit is now possible, thanks to the virtual reality technology available at our facilities. After a long day in our adventure zone or pool area, there's nothing like enjoying an authentic gaming experience, without having to go to an arcade or leave our hotel.
Enjoy this exclusive space with your family, every day between 8:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Your perception of the world of video games will change completely and we guarantee that the little ones will have a great time.
